      Honestly I don’t

      I live in a country where everybody who is entitled to vote, gets a vote in their mail box and a dedicated place where they can go and vote. They can even send in their votes before hand or vote in the local library.

      I don’t see how one side or the other or any can benefit by low voting percentages

        Republicans do better in elections with low voter turnout because old white people vote at disproportionately high rates.

        Central registered of all citizens with ID-number. I’m pretty sure your nation has it, as does mine. So the government knows where you live, and where you can vote. If you move these things are automatically updated. So it’s easy to make sure everyone can vote in the “correct” ballots ect.

        None of this is true with the US
